Hello, Nittaku have some of them:

Goriki j: https://www.nittaku.com/products/rackets/post-136
Rutis revo j: https://www.nittaku.com/products/rackets/post-78

And in the recent past The Sou and Multifunction MF P, MF R rackets.

I own the Rutis revo j. And just this weekend I started playing with the MF R.
In my opinion this kind of handle is the best.
The rackets look too cpen ngl

The racket I'm talking about is more of using both the advantages of a Jpen racket and a Cpen one, maybe like the head shape of jpen to optimize power, and the handle with a much smaller bump to optimize cpen's better wrist. Yknow what I mean?

Ill try to draw one, but dont expect it to look too good and the models you proposed look real similar already

Edit: the second one is almost what I imagined

As far as I know (and I've done a lot of searching) this racket does not exist. And I think there's a good reason why no one makes this racket.

A jpen racket is supposed to line up with your wrist. Thus, their main strength is powerful driving. A cpen racket is supposed to make a ~45 degree angle with your wrist, allowing you to flick your wrist more and thus making it much more capable of spin. These rackets are built corresponding to the way that you hold them.

Sadly, the racket you are describing would be counterproductive for both jpen and cpen grips. If you're using a jpen grip, the cpen handle would interfere with the optimal wrist angle for driving (and it would make TPB control worse). If you're using a cpen grip, jpen head shape would interfere with your ability to create spin.

What an insight

How does the Cpen handle interfere? The jpen head going against cpen spin works maybe, but how does the handle?

Fair, but there is a possibility to create an inbetween. Lets try

I personally hold my Jpens with a ~20 degree angle, which could work with the Cpen Ill get soon.

Id like to keep a similar jpen style while using my cpen, just that spin is a little more pronounced, yk?
